Motorola announces the RAZR V for Canada

Those of you in Canada can get ready for the next edition of the rejuvenated RAZR line. Motorola just announced the RAZR V, which is already available in China. It’s only 8.4mm thick, and since it’s a RAZR, you can expect a full dose of Kevlar fiber to give it that nice touch. The rest of the specs include:

4.3-inch qHD (960 x 540) ColorBoost display

1.2Ghz dual-core processor

1GB of RAM

8-megapixel camera with 1080p video recording

microSD slot for additional 32GB of storage

HSDPA, WiFi b/g/n, and Bluetooth

Android 4.o Ice Cream Sandwich

No pricing was specified, but it will be available during the 2nd quarter at Bell Mobility, Best Buy, Future Shop, Tbooth Wireless, The Mobile Shop, The Source, Videotron, Virgin Mobile, WIND Mobile, WIRELESSWAVE and WIRELESS etc.

The newest addition to the RAZR family, Motorola RAZR V is remarkably thin – just 8.4 mm – yet unbelievably strong. It’s made with DuPont™ Kevlar® fiber, which gives an other-worldly sturdiness to the outer shell, while a scratch-resistant screen defends against bumps and bruises. And, a high-tech, invisible nano-coating shields against the unexpected splash.

You’ve got needs, and Motorola RAZR V knows it. That’s why there’s SMARTACTIONS™, an app that intelligently automates everyday tasks and suggests ways to personalize your phone and make your life easier. Most importantly, SMARTACTIONS gives you the power to get through your day without running out of steam. The Battery Extender will notice when you’re running low and change your phone’s settings to preserve whatever juice is left so you won’t be without power. It’s the SMARTACTION current users love the most.

There’s a lot more SMARTACTIONS can do for you. Let’s say you’re at the gym for spin class, SMARTACTIONS will recognize your headphones and automatically launch your favourite workout playlist. In meetings or in class, SMARTACTIONS has your back – the app silences your phone’s ringer and then auto-replies to calls and texts so you’ll never be “that person” whose phone goes off in the middle of a presentation. That’s smart.

“We’re thrilled to launch another RAZR into the Canadian market,” says Michelle Digulla, general manager, Motorola Mobility Canada. “Motorola RAZR V will be available through a wide selection of channels – bringing the iconic Motorola design and smarter smartphone experience to Canadians.”

Motorola RAZR V doesn’t just turn heads and keep you going through the day, it also lets you get creative. Snap pics with the 8 megapixel camera, see or be seen with the front-facing camera, and save memories in HD with 1080p video capture featuring image stabilization so your shots will be steady and your playback smooth. Share special moments instantly with your friends on Google+™ or Facebook®.

Harness the power of Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich and access over 600,000 apps and games on Google PlayTM, as well as millions of books and thousands of movies and TV shows. Watch everything on the huge, high-res 4.3” ColourBoost TM display which supports a wide range of more vibrant colours for greater detail and sharper, clearer images.

His first computer was a Radio Shack TRS80 Color that used a cassette tape to save programs, and his first laptop was a Toshiba T1200FB that sported a CGA greyscale screen and two 720kb floppy drives (no hardrive).
From the early 90’s through late 2011, he only owned Motorola phones starting with the MircroTAC all the way through to the Droid X. He broke that streak when he bought the Galaxy Nexus. Now he's sporting a Galaxy Note 4, and absolutely loves it.
